My Disciples Are All Villains Chapter 1644 - Heaven-Defying Power (1)

Chapter 1644: Heaven-Defying Power (1)

Lu Zhou’s eyes were bright as he stared at Zhu Honggong.

Zhu Honggong felt his hair stand on end when he saw Lu Zhou’s gaze. Then, he hastily said, “I swear to the heavens if there’s even a little bit of falsehood in my words, I’d be struck by five lightning bolts!”

Lu Zhou had heard about Qi Sheng many times. His fourth disciple and eighth disciple’s judgments were completely opposite of each other.

Lu Zhou was certain Zhu Honggong did not dare to lie. If that was the case, then perhaps, his seventh disciple had truly come back to life. Naturally, he still had many doubts. There was the fact that the Resurrection Scroll failed to bring his seventh disciple back to life and that he could not observe his seventh disciple with the power of sight.

“Where’s he now?” Lu Zhou asked.

“He’s now the Commander of Tu Wei Hall, and he’s in charge of the commanders’ compet.i.tion. He also told us not to reveal your existence and to follow his plan by seizing the positions of commanders in the ten halls,” Zhu Honggong said.

“Plan?”

“Yes. The plan is to seize the positions of commander. He said we can only become hall masters after becoming commanders. Only by becoming hall masters can we obtain the Heaven Suppressing Pestles,” Zhu Honggong replied with a nod.

‘The Heaven Suppressing Pestles?’

Lu Zhou recalled the Heaven Suppressing Pestle he obtained from Emperor Yu in the Great Abyss Land. Until now, he still had not figured out the use of it. He asked unhurriedly, “Why is he looking to obtain the Heaven Suppressing Pestles?”

Zhu Honggong looked troubled as he scratched his ears and cheeks. Then, he said, “I’ll have to ask Seventh Senior Brother about this. He said they’re very useful. The Ten Pillars of Destruction corresponds with the Ten Heaven Suppressing Pestles. As for their uses, I’m not really sure. Master, it’s not like you don’t know Seventh Senior Brother. He’s always talking about inexplicable things like the sky is falling and the earth is collapsing. Something about mankind is in imminent danger and that everything is in a mess.”

“…”

It was probably too much to expect Zhu Honggong to understand these things.

All of a sudden, Zhu Honggong smacked his thigh and cried out, “That’s right! Seventh Senior Brother has already obtained five Heaven Suppressing Pestles. Based on his speed, it won’t be long before you know about everything.”

“Five?” Lu Zhou was inwardly surprised.

‘Based on Emperor Yu’s att.i.tude, the Heaven Suppressing Pestle is clearly not an ordinary item. However, Qi Sheng managed to obtain five Heaven Suppressing Pestles? Is it really possible that Qi Sheng is Old Seventh?’

Zhu Honggong said, “Yan Feng Hall, Xuan Meng Hall, and Qiang Yu Hall voluntarily gave him the Heavenly Suppressing Pestle. He naturally has access to Tu Wei Hall’s Heaven Suppressing Pestle. After Emperor Tu Wei’s death, the people in Tu Wei are without a leader. As for the fifth one…” Then, he paused and looked around before he said in a hushed tone, “Master, I suspect Seventh Senior Brother has something going on with Lan Xihe!”

Pa!

Zhu Honggong slapped his mouth again before he said, “I’m just guessing. I don’t have any real evidence. Anyway, after obtaining the five Heaven Suppressing Pestles, Seventh Senior Brother told me to come to Xuanyi Palace to get a feel of Emperor Xuanyi’s att.i.tude. Don’t you think he’s trying to make things difficult for me?”

Lu Zhou looked at Zhu Honggong with his hands on his back and asked, “Have you ever thought that he might not be your Seventh Senior Brother and that you’ve fallen into his trap? What if he’s using you?”

Zhu Honggong was stunned. He did not say anything for a long time.

Lu Zhou’s judgment was the same as the four elders. From all the signs, Qi Sheng should be his seventh disciple. Among his disciples, he had spent the most time with Si Wuya so he thought he had quite a good understanding of Si Wuya. However, it was not impossible that these were all just tricks meant to fool everyone.

Qi Sheng had either intentionally or unintentionally revealed that he was Si Wuya, but he had never directly confessed. No one knew the reason why.

Zhu Honggong thought that his master made a lot of sense. He suddenly cursed, “Very good! So he’s a liar! I’ve tarnished my reputation for a lifetime because of him! I was almost deceived by a villain!”

Lu Zhou said, “It’s too early for us to draw a conclusion. We’ll discover the truth eventually.”

Zhu Honggong said, “Master is right! If he’s really a fake, you have to punish him severely and avenge us, master! He has ordered us around for decades!”

Lu Zhou said, “Since he already has five Heaven Suppressing Pestles, he’ll naturally find ways to obtain the others.”

The Great Abyss Land’s Heaven Suppressing Pestle was in Lu Zhou’s hand, after all. Sooner or later, he would meet Qi Sheng.

“That person is very cunning. Sooner or later, he’ll gather all ten Heaven Suppressing Pestles,” Zhu Honggong said. Then, he pointed in the direction of the Sacred Temple and complained indignantly, “Master, you don’t know how cunning and terrifying he is. The recent incident in Xuan Meng Hall was planned by him alone. What kind of character was the grand shaman of the Great Void? However, he killed that grand shaman so easily!”

Lu Zhou said indifferently, “Do you really think he has the power to kill Wu Zu? He only relied on the power of the Sacred Temple.”

Zhu Honggong chuckled. “Master is right. I don’t know what happened, but after chatting with master, I’m no longer muddle-headed. My mind is very clear now! Master really woke me up with just one sentence! I was so foolish in the past!”

“Alright. That’s enough.” Lu Zhou could not be bothered to listen to Zhu Honggong’s flattery. He said, “No matter what his purpose is, don’t tell anyone anything for the time being. Return to the Sacred Temple and pretend that nothing happened today.”

Lu Zhou could not make too big of a commotion before he activated all 36 Birth Charts. Moreover, he had a feeling that Ming Xin was planning something as well.

Tu Wei and Wu Zu had fallen, but Ming Xin did not care at all. He even allowed a few Emperors of the Lost Lands to take the owners of the Great Void Seeds. It did not make sense at all. He was the Temple Master of the Sacred Temple and the person with the highest status in the Great Void. Logically speaking, he should cherish his position very much. However, apart from the balance, he did not seem to care about anything at all.
